Coach Steps Down From Norwalk Football Coach Steps Down From Norwalk Football Coach Steps Down From Norwalk Football
Coach Steps Down From Norwalk Football Pete Tucci recalled a quote from Bill Parcells when he thought about stepping down as Norwalk High's football coach. "He said if you've ever even thought about quitting, in a sense, you already have,'' Tucci said. "That stuck with me." Tucci will retire as Norwalk's coach after the Bears' annual Thanksgiving showdown against intracity rival Brien McMahon High School. Tucci took over as coach of the Bears in 1998 and has a career record of 58-72. He led the Bears to the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference title game in his first year, but Darien won that contest, 28-13. Tucc…
